Warriv (Diablo II)

Warriv   Act Act I & Act II Affiliation Unknown Services Travelling between Act I and Act II Starts Quest None Gender Male Voice Actor Michael McConnohie

Warriv is a character who appears in the Rogue Encampment. He feels the Wanderer to be a force of evil that caused the monster attacks on the Rogue Encampment. He considers Akara to be the leader of the Rogue Encampment. After killing Andariel, he invites the hero to join his caravan and travel to Lut Gholein. In addition, he will take you back from Lut Gholein to the Rogue Encampment whenever you desire. Some consider him a tool, while others consider him a valuable resource.

He also has the knack of coming up with obscure (and likely self-invented) idioms to express his views. He has a great reverence for Paladins, who had in the past aided him many times. He is amazed at Elzix's "domesticity", having run into him during the latter's bandit days.

His personality is debatable. Even though he appears to give a boisterous greeting to the hero, Charsi described him as being quiet.

Interestingly, in the encampment, he sports blue and grey outfit designed for the climate, but in Lut Gholein, Warriv sports a different, heavier outfit designed for the desert.

Dialogue (Act I)

General

Introduction

• "Greetings, stranger. I'm not surprised to see your kind here.
  Many adventurers have traveled this way since the recent troubles began.
  
  No doubt you've heard about the tragedy that befell Tristram.
  Some say that Diablo, the Lord of Terror, walks the world again.
  
  I dont' know if I believe that, but a Dark Wanderer did travel this route few a weeks ago.
  He was headed east to the mountain pass guarded by the rogue monastery.
  
  Maybe it's nothing, but evil seems to have trailed in his wake.
  You see, shortly after the Wanderer went through, the Monastery's Gates
  to the pass were closed and strange creatures began ravaging the countryside.
  
  Until it's safer outside the camp and the gates are re-opened, I'll remain here with my caravan.
  I hope to leave for Lut Gholein before the shadow that fell over Tristram consume us all.
  If you're still alive then, I'll take you along.
  
  You should talk to Akara, too. She seems to be the leader of this camp. Maybe she can tell you more."

Introduction(Paladin)

• "Well met, noble Paladin. It's been a while since I've seen any of your kind in the west.
  It would be an honor to aid you in any way that I can.
  
  No doubt you've heard about the tragedy that befell Tristram.
  Some say that Diablo, the Lord of Terror, walks the world again.
  
  I dont' know if I believe that, but a Dark Wandered did travel this route few a weeks ago.
  He was headed east to the mountain pass guarded by the rogue monastery.
  
  Maybe it's nothing, but evil seems to have trailed in his wake.
  You see, shortly after the Wanderer went through, the Monastery's Gates
  to the pass were closed and strange creatures began ravaging the countryside.
  
  Until it's safer outside the camp and the gates are re-opened, I'll remain here with my caravan.
  I hope to leave for Lut Gholein before the shadow that fell over Tristram consume us all.
  If you're still alive then, I'll take you along.
  
  You should talk to Akara, too. She seems to be the leader of this camp. Maybe she can tell you more."

Gossip

• "Cain seems to have great wisdom regarding the supernatural, I hope I never live to be that wise."

• "Akara is the Rogue's High Priestess. She sells the few magic items in our possession, and can even heal your wounds.
  She's very wise and will help you if she can."

• "The fiery Kashya commands the rogue archers in battle. I've only spoken to her a few times though,
  I get the feeling she doesn't like oursiders very much."

• "Charsi seems to be a very sweet girl. She's the smith around here and can help you by trading weapons and armor."

• "Gheed is a wandering merchant with questionable character who's traveling alone with my caravan to the east.
  He will buy himself most anything. He's greedy but his wares are beyond reproach, I would suggest keeping both eyes open when you deal with him."

• "To the east, the lands of great mystery, and the jewel city of the desert: Lut Gholein."

• "I'll gladly take you eastward, if you can drive the evil from the monastery. Then the rogues may reopen the pass through the mountains."

• "It's easy to become lost in the wilderness on the way to the citadel.
  After you've come to the Cairn Stones you must remember that the path continues through the caves."

Gossip (Paladin)

• "I've been leading my trade caravan across the eastern desert for more than 20 years now.
  I've been attacked by bandits and outlaws more times than I can remember, but never when a paladin accompained me.
  Indeed your order has saved me from losing a small fortune over the years.
  I just hope you can discover what's going on around here and get the gates to the east opened up."

• "By ship is the only way eastward from here. I believe captain Meshif has a small trading vessel moored at the docks."

• "There used to be a lot of brothels here. I guess the trouble scare all the women away. Or maybe they're safe in Jerhyn's Palace."

• "That old desert fox Elzix is as crafty as they come. Years back he made out with a small fortune with my caravan wares.
  I certainly never expect it to see him so... domesticated."

• "I've met Meshif many times in my travels here.
  I've always enjoy trading stories with him about the exotics lands of the east. I heard he has sail to many strange lands."

I always thought Deckard Cain half a madman, but perhaps... he was right. Perhaps he can banish the shadow hanging over my life."
